12 Middle School Trends That Will Take You Back
Caroline Alderson

Remember the days when we wore those super comfy gaucho pants with the yellow box flip flops? Boy has style changed since then! Let's take a moment and remember our fashion trends from middle school. You may not have worn or had all of these, but I am sure you have had at least one of them.

1. Gaucho Pants

Yes, these are those rally flared out pants that felt like pajamas. If you didn't have these at some point in your life then you definitely missed out!

2. Sequin purses

Remember having one of these in every color? I do! These big sequin purses were a must to have!

3. Nike Shocks

Pretty sure your middle school crush whether it was a boy or girl had these. They came in all sorts of colors and were one of the biggest trends in the early 2000s!

4. Silly Bandz

Literally, everyone had silly bands. If you didn't buy any, you probably had gotten one from a friend. Remember when you used to trade yours for another animal or shaped one?

5. Baby Lips Lip Balm

Baby Lips Lip Balms was the number one cosmetic use from middle school girls at my school! Most definitely a must have if you are a girl!

6. Friendship Jewelry

Remember having that friendship necklace from Claire's? Or the friendship bracelet you made? These were a must have for sure!

7. Feather Trend

Nothing was cool until you went to the fair or arts festival and got that feather put in your hair. This was the most hipster trend of the middle school days for sure.

8. Any Shirt That Had A Company Name On It

Remember that Hollister shirt you wore every day to class? Oh, I do! I had them in every color, and I am sure you did too!

9. Soffe Shorts

Oh yeah! You weren't cool enough until you had a Soffe shorts that had some type of writing on the butt!

10. Butterfly Clips

Your outfit was not complete without a butterfly clip in your hair! I had about one hundred of these and wore every single one of them! I am sure you did too!

11. Yellow Box Flip Flops

Yes, I had almost every pair. These were those comfy black sole flip flops that you saw every girl and their mom wear to everything and with everything.

12. Airbrush Shirts And Hats

The best souvenir from the beach was definitely the airbrush shirt and hats! If you didn't get it as a gift, then you probably bought one at the fair or the souvenir store in your town.

Hopefully, these trends made you think of happy and somewhat embarrassing memories! Having a throwback here and there always makes it fun to remember those happy memories! Thankfully only some of those trends have come back.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
